Industrial-scale Peking duck production unfolds within a sprawling steel-framed shed, where hundreds of pristine white ducks cluster across a textured ground of fine gravel and organic matter. The uniform flock spreads across the controlled environment, anchored by a central green feeding mechanism suspended from the corrugated roof structure. Precise red boundary markers define movement corridors, creating geometric patterns among the densely packed birds. These plump, pale ducks represent a carefully managed agricultural asset, bred for efficient protein production in a meticulously controlled New South Wales intensive farming system. Soft ambient light filters through the shed's translucent roof panels, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the birds' smooth feathered forms against the neutral brown ground. The scene epitomizes modern agricultural efficiency - a calculated, systematic approach to poultry farming that balances animal husbandry with commercial food production imperatives.
